Watch the evolution of fractal governance in action! These videos capture a living story of how communities make decisions together through consensus games — pioneering the future of democracy with a fun and friendly community spirit. Each session is produced as an educational video, with show notes featuring key highlights from every episode.
In the episodes you’ll see tools used in real contexts, proposals actively considered by the Eden Fractal Council, and in‑depth conversations with builders across the ecosystem. Sessions are fully interactive: people collaborate in real time, ask nuanced questions about the fractal approach, and learn from experienced facilitators and governance researchers. Council deliberations frequently conclude with proposals that set the community’s next steps and chart the course for to the wider fractal ecosystem.
Explore the episodes below to start watching, or visit the full collection of Town Halls since June 2022 in the video playlist. Produced by the Eden Creators team, the series is designed to help you understand the fractal ecosystem, connect with the community, and see how open participation leads to community decisions. Enjoy the show!
